Author:William Shakespeare

The second volume of the Everyman Signet Shakespeare completes the survey of Shakespeare's tragic output with Titus Andronicus, Troilus and Cressida, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Timon of Athens and Coriolanus. The authoritatively edited texts of the plays are supplemented with extensive bibliographies, a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and a substantial introduction in which Professor Tony Tanner examines Shakespeare's evolution as a tragedian while also providing detailed discussions of the individual plays.
